DESCRIPTION
A three-way full range system (passive LF/MF/HF crossover)
in a compact vented trapezoidal enclosure. It includes a 15-
in woofer, a 6.5-in midrange cone in a sealed, internal
subenclosure and a 1-in exit/2-in voice coil compression
driver mounted on a 100
°
(conical) Wave Guide Plate™
(WGP™). Designed primarily for portable applications, the
FR153z offers entry-level access to high quality, truly pro-
fessional loudspeaker systems for musicians and DJ’s servic-
ing small to medium venues.
True three-way asks each transducer to operate only in its
optimum passband for superior overall response. By han-
dling the majority of the vocal range within a dedicated
midrange subsystem, true three-way design provides increased
intelligibility for more natural sounding vocals.
The system’s full range passive powering is accomplished via
EAW’s internal passive crossover/filter network. This com-
plex design goes beyond merely dividing the signal by per-
forming critical equalization functions.
APPLICATIONS
The FR153z provides high output full range response in a
versatile, compact system. Effective for both permanent and
portable applications, it comes with handles, rubber foot-
pads, a pole mount cup and three (3) 3/8"-16 threaded
mounting/suspension points.
The FR153z is optimized for use with the FR250z dual 15-in
subwoofer system which also serves as a pole mount base.
In such a configuration, a standard 5-ft mounting pole posi-
tions the FR153z’s HF subsystem above the heads of audi-
ence members for maximum coverage. Six Year Warranty.
